America Vespucci is another sailor. He had followed
the same sea route but he proved that the land discovered by Columbus was not India but a new continent . It was called the New World while Europe became as the Old World. Now the new continent is named after him, North America, and South America.
Notes on America
Christopher Columbus is believed to be the
discoverer of America. He was an Italian and was financed by the Spanish Queen to find a sea route to India. In 1492, he sailed west from Spain in search of a sea route directly to India, but he failed to reach his destination and he found America instead. How ever, he believed he had reached India and called the natives on this land Indians.

among private companies and billionaire entrepreneurs to carry paying passengers into space and tokick-start a new industry, astro tourism.to astronauts, pilots, and aeronautical engineers –basically to anyone who knows anything about aircraft design –burt rutan is a legend, an aeronautical engineer whose latest aircraft is the worlds first private spaceship. as he told when he first met him a little over a year ago, if his idea flies, someday space travel may be cheap enough and safe enough for ordinarypeople to go where only astronauts have gone before. the white knight is a rather unusual looking aircraft, built just forthe purpose of carrying a rocket plane called spaceshipone,the first spacecraft built by private enterprise.white knight andspaceshipone are the latest creations of burt rutan.theyre part of his dream to develop a commercial travel business in space. there will be a new industry. and we are just now in a beginning. i will predict that in 12 or 15 years,there will be tens of thousands, maybe even hundreds ofthousands of people that fly, and see that black sky, says rutan.on june 21, 2004, white knight took off from an airstrip inmojave, calif., carrying rutans spaceship. it took 63 minutes to reach the launch altitude of 47,000 feet. once there, the white knight crew prepared to release the spaceship one. the fierce acceleration slammed mike melvill, the pilot, back in his seat.he put spaceshipone into a near vertical trajectory, until, as planned, the fuel ran out.still climbing like a spent bullet, melvillhoped to gain as much altitude as possible to reach spacebefore the ship began falling back to earth. by the time the spaceship one reached the end of its climb, it was 22 miles off course. but it had, just barely, reached an altitude of just over 62 miles --the internationally recognized boundary of space.it was the news rutan had been waiting for. falling back to earth from an altitude of 62 miles, spaceshipones tilting wing,a revolutionary innovation called the feather, caused the rocket plane to position itself for a relatively benign re-entry and turned the spaceship into a glider.spaceshipone glided to a flawless landing before a crowd of thousands.after that june flight, i felt like i was floating around and just once in a while touching the ground, remembers rutan. we had an operable space plane.rutans operable space plane was built by acompany with only 130 employees at a cost of just $25 million. he believes his success has ended the governments monopoly on space travel, and opened it up to the ordinary citizen.i concluded that for affordable travel to happen, the little guyhad to do it because he had the incentive for a business, says rutan. does rutan view this as a business venture or a technological challenge?its a technological challenge first. and its a dream i had when i was 12, he says. rutan started building model airplanes when he was seven years old, in dyenuba, calif., where he grew up.i was fascinated by putting balsa wood together and see how it would fly, he remembers. and when i started having the capability to do contests and actually win a trophy by making a better model, then i was hooked.hes been hooked ever since. he designed his first airplane in 1968 and flew it four years later.since then his airplanes have become known for their stunning looks, innovative design and technological sophistication.rutan began designing a spaceship nearly a decade ago, after setting up set up his own aeronautical research and design firm. by the year 2000, he had turned his designs into models and was testing them outside his office.when i got to the point that i knew that i could make a safe spaceship that would fly amanned space mission -- when i say, i, not the government,our little team -- i told paul allen, i think we can do this.and he immediately said, go with it. paul allen co-founded microsoft and is one of the richest men in the world. his decision to pump $25 million into rutans company, scaled composites, was the vote of confidence that his engineers needed to proceed. that was a heck of a challenge to put in front of some people like us, where were told, well,【篇三：英语高级视听说 下册 unit15】【篇三：英语高级视听说n new york on tuesday, nov. 1, to begin an eight-day visit, it will be his first official american tour in more than a decade. everyone knows what has happened in the interim. his troubled marriage to the late princess diana, his remarriage to camilla parker bowles, and the youthfulindiscretions of his two sons have been turned to a reality-based soap opera by the tabloid media. but most americans know very little about who the prince of wales is and what he does as heir to the british throne.members of the royal family hardly ever grant interviews, the queen has never given one, and you rarely see them talk. but last month, as his trip to the united states was being planned, prince charles granted 60 minutes correspondent steve kroftan audience, allowing us to follow him around and chat, not about his family, but about being prince of wales, a job and a life like no other.most of us in our lives have to fill out applications listing our profession and occupation. you dont have to do that, kroft said. no. not always, but sometimes, prince charles replied.if you did, what would you put down? kroft asked.i would list it as worrying about this country and its inhabitants. thats my particular duty. and i find myself borninto this particular position. im determined to make the most of it. and to do whatever i can to help. and i hope i leave things behind a little bit better than i found them, the prince said. its hard to say, but i think it is a profession, actually; doing what im doing. because if you tried it for a bit, you might find out how difficult it is, he added, laughing.he is somewhere between a brand and a public institution, a future head of state in waiting —and waiting. he is a symbol of continuity with no real power but tremendous influence that is tied to his position and wealth.the money comes from a 14th century real estate empire called the duchy of cornwall, which was established to provide an income for the heir to the british throne.today it includes 135,000 acres of farmland, forests, waterfront property, london real estate, and even a cricket stadium. it produces $25 million a year in rents and other income that supports the prince, his wife and children and a staff of 130. there are perks such as travel on the royal train. and $7 million from the government to help with official expenses.on a recent trip to the yorkshire countryside to mark the 850th anniversary of the village of richmond, the whole town turned out to greet charles and camilla, his new wife, longtime friend and former mistress, now the duchess of cornwall. they were recently voted the most popular couple in britain, nosing out the queen and prince philip and they seemed comfortable with each other and the crowds.there was clearly a bond between you and the people there. explain that to me, asked kroft.no idea, the prince replied with laugh.you have no idea? kroft asked.no, but i always enjoyed seeing all sorts of people all around the country. i do this over and over again, have done for 30-something years, the prince said.he could pass the time playing polo or do nothing at all if he wanted, a path chosen by most of his predecessors, many of whom were lay-abouts and playboys. but charles chose to invent a job where none existed. he made 29 major speecheslast year, visited 14 countries, and runs the largest group of non-profit organizations in the country called princes charities. he raises more than $200 million a year for those 16organizations, 14 of which he founded.the largest charity is the princes trust which, over 29 years, has helped to provide job training for more than a half a million young people.do you think if you werent doing this stuff, that it would getdone? kroft asked.if i wasnt doing it? no, the prince replied.asked if he felt as if he was making a difference, princecharles said, i dont know. i try. i only hope that when im dead and gone, they might appreciate it a little bit more. do youknow what i mean? sometimes that happens.as he approaches his 57th birthday, he sometimes feels misunderstood and undervalued. he was educated at cambridge, can fly jet planes and helicopters, is extremely knowledgeable about the arts, and has tried to carve out for himself a number of different careers— environmentalist, urban planner, real estate developer, and social critic — deeply committed to a vision of what great britain was and should be. his vision is laid out in bricks and mortar in poundbury, avillage of 2,500 people, which he created on his land near dorchester in the south ofengland. all his ideas on architectural design, class structure, aesthetics and ecology are here. and what he sees as the future looks very much like the past: an 18th century villageadapted for the 21st. prince charles gave kroft a tour of the village. and thats aconvenience store, which im very proud of, which everybody said wouldnt work. thats the pub, which again nobody wanted to touch. but now of course, the values are going up, and upand up.kroft remarked that the buildings looked as if they were builtto last, lacking flimsy materials.well, thats what ive been trying to encourage people to think about. … to break the conventional mold in the way weve been building and designing for the last, well, during the lastcentury really, has all been part of a throw-away society, princecharles said.everything in the village is constructed of native or recycled materials, sustainable development, he calls it, that conservesthe earths resources.single-family homes are mixed with small apartments so there are people of all income levels here living side by side in a community with shops and light industry. the narrow twisty roads discourage automobile traffic, and cars are parked out ofsight in landscaped lots.the whole of the 20th century has always put the car at the center, the prince explained. so by putting the pedestrian first, you create these livable places, i think, with more attraction,and interest and character. livability.he believes that the modern world with its cars and computers is slowly eroding our humanity, that we are losingtouch with the world around us.the british tabloids have made an industry out of his travails and love to portray him as an out-of-touch eccentric trying to stop progress, an edwardian hippie with no real-life experience, whos never had to draw his own bath or take out the garbage. hes been constantly ridiculed for what have been called his undergraduate ramblings, including his innocent admissionthat he talks to his plants.are you familiar with any of the plants here? talking to any ofthem? kroft asked.yeah, i know some of them. no, no, no, the prince said, laughing. no, i do all the time. not here. youve gotten more mileage out of that, i think, than almostanything thats … kroftsaid.j ust just shows you cant make a joke. … without them taking it seriously. so, its the same old story, the prince replied. his image is carefully managed by a communications staff ofnine that also handles his umbrella. they made it clear the prince would not answer questions about his wives, past andpresent, his sons or the queen. he mistrusts the media for past abuses, and worries that no one takes him seriously.what is the most difficult part of your job? i mean except fortalking with people like me? kroft asked.yes, exactly, the prince said, laughing. oh, dear. i think, that the most important thing is to be relevant. i mean, it isnt easy,as you can imagine. because if you say anything, people willsay, its all right for you to say that. its very easy to just dismiss anything i say. i mean, its difficult. but what ive tried to do is toput my money where my mouth is as much as i can, byactually creating like here, models on the ground. i mean, if people dont like it, ill go away and do it.you are in many ways a public advocate for the traditional. what are the great parts of great britain that are worth preserving, besides the monarchy? kroft asked.well, theres an awful lot of things that are worth preserving,the prince said with a laugh. the trouble, i think, in todaysworld is we abandon so many things unnecessarily, so often in the name of efficiency. if you make everything over-efficient,you suck out, it seems to me, every last drop of what, up to now, has been known as culture. we are not the technology. it should be our —you know, our slave, the technology. but its rapidly becoming our master in many areas, i think.prince charles says he is not trying to stop progress. im just trying to say that we ought to redefine the way in which progress is seen. is it progress to rush headlong into upsetting the whole balance of nature, which is what, i think, were beginning to do?you know, if you look at the latest figures on climate change and global warming, theyre terrifying, terrifying.as a member of the royal family, he is expected to avoid politically contentious issues. yet he has openly opposed a number of government policies, including the development of genetically-modified crops. hes raised questions about stemcell research and is a strong advocate of alternative medicine.he has expressed those views in speeches, letters andmeetings with government officials, some of whom considerhim to be a royal nuisance.how do you deal with that? how do you walk that line? kroft asked.well, years of practice, perhaps, the prince said.does it get you in a spot of trouble from time to time fromcertain people? kroft asked.oh, inevitably. but it seems to be part and parcel of the thing. imean, if i wasnt, i think, doing these things, id be accused bypeople like you, doing nothing with my life, the prince replied, laughing.asked if anybody ever asks him to tone it down a bit, the prince said, oh yes, of course. but i think the proof is in the pudding. and i think, you know, all the things they try to tell me to tone down over the years, if you look now, though, youll find theyre fairly mainstream.twenty years ago when he announced that he was going to begin farming organically on his estate at highgrove, no one knew what he was talking about and assumed it was another crackpot idea.today its big business in great britain, and prince charles has a line of high-end organic products produced on his estate called duchy originals that includes everything from biscuitsand jams to mineral water, sausage and turkeys.prince charles says the business has been quite successful. and that has grown and now turns over ?40 million ($71 million) a year. and im able to give away over a million pounds each year to my charitable ventures.when he arrives in new york on nov. 1 as great britains most popular ambassador, he will be selling a political, commercial and diplomatic agenda prepared by the foreign office.he will also be introducing the american public to his new wife, who will be making her first official overseas trip and donned a diamond tiara for the first time last week. she is not giving interviews right now, and may never.she is said to be interested in supporting, not overshadowing, her husband, and has no interest in establishing her ownpublic identity.why has it been 20 years since his last official visit to the united states?you dont want to see me all the time. you get bored, the prince said, laughing.is there anything youre looking forward to doing there, anything youre looking。
英语高级视听说Unit1PiratesoftheInternet
英语高级视听说Unit1PiratesoftheInternetIt s no secret that online piracy has decimated the music industry as millions of people stopped buying CDs and started stealing their favorite songs by downloading them from the internet. Now the hign-tech thieves are coming after Hollywood. Illegal downloading of full-length feature films is a relatively new phenomenon, but it s becoming easier and easier to do. The people running America s movie studios know that if they don t do something----and fast---they could be in the same boat as the record companies. Correspodent: ?”Chernin: “Well, I think, you know, ultimately, our absolute features.”Peter Chernin runs 20th Century Fox, one of the biggest studios in Hollywood. He knows the pirates of the Internet are gaining on him. Correspont: “Do you know ?”Chernin: .”Correspondent: “And it s only going to grow.”Chernin: “It s only going to grow. Somebody can put a perfect digital copy up on the internet. A perfect digital copy, all right. And with the click of mouse, send out a million copies all over the world, in an instant.”And it s all free. If that takes hold, kiss Hollywood goodbye. Chernin recently organized a “summit”between studio moguls and some high school and college kids---the people most likely to be downloading.Chernin: “And we said, Let s come up with a challenge. Let s give them five movies, and see if they can find them online. And we all sat around and picked five movies, four of which hadn t been released yet. And then we came back half an hour later. They had found all five movies that we gave them. ”Correspondent: “Even the ones that hadn t even been released yet?”Chernin: “Even the ones that hadn t even beenreleased yet.”Correspondent: “Did these kids have any sense that they were stealing?”Chernin: “You know it s…it s a weird dichotomy. I think they know it s stealing, and I don t think they think it s wrong. I think they have an attitude of, It s here. ”The Internet copy of last year s hit Signs, starring Mel Gibson, was stolen even before director M. Night Shyamalan could organize the premiere. Correspondent: “The movie was about to be released. When did the first bootleg copy appear?”6Shyamalan: “Two weeks before it or three weeks b efore it. Before the Internet age, when somebody bootlegged a movie, the only outlet they had was to see it to those vendors on Times Square, where they had the boxes set up outside and they say, Hey, we have Signs---it s not even out yet. And you walk by and you know it s illegal. But now, because it s the digital age, you can see, like, a clean copy. It s no longer the kind of thesleazy guy in Times Square with the box. It s just, oh, it s on this beautiful site, and I have to go, Click. ”Correspondent: “How did those movies get on the Internet? How did that happen?”Chernin: “Through an absolute act of theft. the or circulated among companies that do special effects, or subtitles. Chernin: “The other way that pre-released movies end up (stolen) is that people go to …there are lots of screenings that happen in this industry…on…”Correspondent: “And record it.”This is one of those recorded-off-the-screen copies of Disney s Pirates of the Caribbean. Not great quality, but not awful either. And while it used to take forever to download a movie, anyone with a high-speed Internet connection can now have a full-length film in an hour or two.Saaf: “Well, this is just one of many websites where basically people, hackers if you will, announce their piracy releases.”R andy Saaf runs a company called Media Defender that helps movie studios combat online piracy. Correspondent: “Look at this, all these new movies that I haven t even seen yet, all here.”Saaf: “Yep.”Correspondent: “Secondhand Lions that just came out. Sometimes I feel like I m the only person in this country who has never downloaded anything. But maybe there is a few others of us out there. So I m going to ask you to show us Kazaa, that s the biggest downloading site, right?”Saaf: “Right. This is the Kazaa me dia desktop. Kazaa is the largest peer-to-peer network.”It s called peer-to-peer because computer users are sharing files with each other, with no middleman. All Kazaa does is provide the software to make that sharing possible. When we went online with Randy Saaf, nearly four million other Kazaa users were there with us, sharing every kind of digital file. Saaf: “Audio, documents, images, software, and video. If you wanted a movie, you would click on the video section, and then you would type in a search phrase. And basically what this is doing now, it is asking the people on the peer-to-peer network, Who has Finding Memo ?”Within seconds, 191 computers sent an answer: “We have it.”This is Finding Memo, crisp picture and sound, downloaded free from Kazaa a month before its release for video rental or sale. If you don t want to watch it on a little computerscreen, you don t have to. On the newest computers, you can just “burn”it onto a DVD and watch it on your big-screen TV. And that s a dagger pointed right at the heart of Hollywood. Chernin: “Where movies make the bulk of their money is on DVD and home videos. 50 percent of the revenues for any moviecome out of home video…”Correspondent: “15 percent?”Chernin: “50 percent so that if piracy occurs and it wipes out your home video profits or ultimately your television profits, you are out of business. No movies will get made.”Even if movies did get made, Night Shyamalan says that wouldn t be any good, because profits would be negligible, so budgets would shrink dramatically. Shyamalan: “And slowly it will degrade what s possible in that art form.”Rosso: “Always. You can t shut it down.”Wayne Rosso is Hollywood s enemy. They call him a pirate, but officially he s the president of Grokster, another peer-to-peer ne twork that works just like Kazaa. Correspondent: “Ok, I have e.”Rosso: “Right.”Correspondent: “Ok, did I pay to do that?”Rosso: “No, it s free.”Correspondent: “So who pays you? How do you make money?”“And how many people use Grokster?”Rosso: “Ten million.”Correspondent: “Ten million people have used it.”Rosso: “A month.”Correspondent 9Correspondent: “what else?”Rosso: “I will assume. See, we have no way of knowing what people are downloading.”Correspondent: “That sRosso: “We have no idea what the content is, and whatever it is…”Correspondent: “Well, you may not know the specifics, but you know that s what your site…”Rosso: “And we can t stop it. Correspondent: “But you are there for that purpose, that is why you exist, of course it is.”Rosso: “No, no, no, no, no, no.”Correspondent: “Come on, this is the fig leaf part.”Rosso: “No, no, no, no, no.”Shyamalan:“He is totally conformable with putting on his site a stolen piece of material. Am I wrong in that? If my movie was his site?”Correspondent: “Because I have nothing to do with it.”Shyamalan:“Yeah, right.”Correspondent: “Because I just provided the software.”Shyamalan:“Yeah, right. So,immediately, how can you ever have a conversation with him? Because he s taken a stolen material and he is totally fine with passing it around in his house. All these, all these are illegal activities. So, I m not, it s just my house, I m not doing anything wrong.”But it is Rosso who has the law on his side. A federal judge has ruled that Grokster and other file-swapping networks are Rosso: “So we are completely legal, and unfortunately this is something the entertainment industry refuses to accept. They seem to think the judge s decision was nothingThe studios are appealing that court ruling. And they like the carpenters and painters who work on film sets. At the same time, Hollywood is trying to Chernin: “You will very seldom go to an early screening of a movie right now where, probably you don t notice until you pay attention, someone s not in the front of that auditorium with i nfrared binoculars looking for somebody with a camcorder.”Saaf: “What we re just trying to do is make the actual pirated content difficult to find. And the way we do that is by, you know, serving up fake files.”It s called “spoofing.”but aren t. Correspon dent: “So if I had clicked on any number of those Finding Nemo offerings, I could have clicked on one of yours, or somebody like you. And what would I have found after my hour and a half of downloading?”Saaf: “it might just be a blank screen or something. You know, typically speaking, what we push out is just not the real content.”Correspondent: “What you are trying to do is make this so impossible, so infuriating that people will just throw up their hands and say it s just easier for me to go rent this thi ng, buy the DVD or whatever, it s just easier.”Saaf: “Right.”Correspondent: “That s your goal.”Saaf：：“Right.”Correspondent: “Does that work? Is that a good idea?”Rosso: “No. It doesn t work. I mean I don t blame thembut it doesn t work because what happens is that the community cleanses itself of the spoofs.”He means that downloaders quickly spread the word online about how to tell the fake movie files from the real thing. Correspondent: “It s like an arms race(军备竞赛）, isn t it?”Chernin: “That s exactly wh at it s like. It s like an arms race. There will be, you know, they re gonna get a step ahead. We re gonna try and get that step back.”Rosso: “But I ll tell you one thing: I ll bet on the hackers.”Correspondent: “That they will break whatever…”Rosso: “The studios come up with.”Correspondent: “The companies throw at them.”and that isn t going away. Chernin: “The generally accepted estimate is that Correspondent: “60 million.”Chernin: “At 60 million Americans, that s a mainstream product. That s not a bunch of college kids or, you know, a bunch of computer geeks. That s America.”So, instead of trying to stop it entirelybest way is to negotiate some kinds of licensing deal with him. Rosso: “If the movie industry acts now and starts exploring alternatives and solutions with guys like me, hopefully they won t have a problem.”Correspondent: “What if they try to buy you?”Rosso: “I d sell it in al heartbeat.”Correspondent: “You would sell, Grokster would sell to a movie studio?”Rosso:“Sure, call me.”The idea of ma king deals with appeal to Hollywood. Instead, Fox and other studios have just launched their own uld love the idea that you don t have to go to the video store. You can do this. And that s what we re working the most effective business model in the world can t compete with free.”Not that Peter Chernin is interested, but he won t have the chance to buy Grokster, at least not from Wayne Rosso. A few days ago, Rosso announced that he is leaving Grokster to take over as president of another file-swapping software company,this one based in Spain. Grokster will continue under new management.Key to the exercises Task I Global Listening1. C2. C.3. D .4. D5. A6. B.7. B8. CTask IIEpisode 1 1. T 2. F 3. T 4. F 5.
